Summerproof treatments: which treatments can be done in the summer?
Is it OK to do fillers, botox or laser treatments in the summer?
Many people postpone their cosmetic treatment as soon as the sun shows itself.
"I'll wait until the fall," he said.
"You probably can't with this hot weather."
"With fillers or a laser, you can't go out in the sun, can you?"
It sounds logical, but in practice it often doesn't add up.
In fact, many of the most popular treatments can simply be performed safely in the summer.
And some treatments are just ideal to do during this period, so your skin looks its best during the summer.
Of course, there are exceptions. Not every treatment is equally appropriate during periods of high sun, beach vacations, or intense exposure to UV radiation.
Therefore, in this blog we clearly outline:
- Which treatments you can do just fine in the summer;
- When extra precautions are wise;
- And which treatments are sometimes better left until the fall.
This way, you know exactly where you stand and don't have to put off treatment unnecessarily.
Botox & fillers in the sun: is it allowed?
Yes. In most cases just do.
One of the biggest misconceptions in cosmetic medicine is that fillers or botox would not go with sun and heat.
That's not right.
Sunlight does not affect the efficacy or durability of injectables.
These include:
- Botox
- Fillers
- Skinboosters
- Profhilo
- Polynucleotides
- Sculptra
- Juläine
- Wire elevators
Normal sun exposure is therefore not a problem. However, we always recommend SPF 30 or higher, avoiding tanning beds, and no extreme sun exposure for the first few days immediately after treatment.
Going on vacation soon? If so, that's usually not a reason to delay treatment.
Thus, it is a fable that sunlight makes botox or fillers disappear faster or become less effective.
The one exception?
Are you planning to spend hours in the full sun on vacation (you know one of those bake and fry vacations).
Preferably schedule your treatment then about one week before you leave. Not because the results will be less, but because the skin may be temporarily slightly more sensitive to burning, swelling or pigmentation immediately after a treatment.
For anyone who simply enjoys a patio, walk, beach day or vacation applies:
You don't have to put off your treatment because it's summer.

Weight loss for summer
Summer is coming. Maybe you're looking forward to vacation, sidewalk cafes and sunny days. Or maybe you're actually dreading it a bit.
Because your clothes fit differently than you'd like. Because you don't feel comfortable in swimwear. Or because you've tried all kinds of things, but can't manage to lose weight permanently.
This often has less to do with willpower than people think.
Hunger, satiety, habits, stress, sleep and hormones all play a role. This is precisely why many people get stuck, despite the best intentions.
At DokterEs , we assist overweight or obese people with a combination of medical counseling, lifestyle coaching, and - when appropriate - GLP-1 medication such as Mounjaro or Ozempic.
What to expect.
- Comprehensive medical intake
- Personalized treatment plan
- Attention to muscle maintenance and lifestyle
- Guidance from experienced physicians
- Safe and responsible phasing out
- Lowest effective dosage possible
No crash diet. No quick fix. But a course of treatment aimed at lasting results.
After all, the goal is not just to lose weight for this summer.
The goal is a healthier weight that you maintain into next year.
Skin care consultation
Many people invest in treatments, but use products at home that do not best suit their skin.
And that is precisely where the difference is often made.
The right skincare can help keep your skin calmer, healthier and more radiant, even in the summer.
This is because the skin has different needs in summer than in winter. Sun, heat, perspiration, air conditioning and UV radiation require a different approach than the colder months.
What can you expect?
During a personalized Skin Care Consult, we comprehensively analyze your skin using a professional 3D skin scan.
Thus, we gain insight into such areas as:
- Hydration
- Pigment
- Redness
- Pores
- Skin Structure
- Sun damage
Based on this, you will receive a personalized skin consultation and a skincare routine that suits your skin and goals.
Not a closet full of products. But the right products for your skin.
Wondering what your skin really needs?

What is less sensible in the summer?
As you have read, there are surprisingly many treatments that can be performed just fine in the summer. Still, there are some treatments that require extra caution or where we recommend postponing them until fall or winter. This is mainly due to increased sensitivity to sunlight, pigment shifts and longer skin recovery time.
Unsure if your treatment is suitable for summer? We are happy to advise you personally.
"Not every treatment is ideal in the summer. Therefore, we always look at what gives the safest and most beautiful results at the time! "
Deep peels
Deep peels involve intensive skin renewal. This temporarily makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation and increases the risk of pigmentation shifts.
For this reason, we usually recommend deep peels outside the summer months.
CO2 laser
One of our treatments with the most impressive results, but not so suitable for summer.
A COâ‚‚ laser provides deep skin renewal and collagen stimulation. Recovery takes longer than many other skin-enhancing treatments, and direct sunlight should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Not impossibly so, a COâ‚‚ laser treatment is usually better suited for fall or winter.
Laser hair removal
Not impossible in summer, skin should not be exposed to sun for at least 2 weeks before ánd after treatment and should not be excessively tanned. Self-tanning is also not allowed. This gives a higher risk of sunburn and pigmentation.
Ready for your most beautiful summer skin?
Maybe you want fewer wrinkles.
Maybe more glow.
Maybe more even skin or just honest advice on what your skin really needs.
Whatever your goal:
You don't have to figure it out on your own.
During a personal consultation, we will work together to determine which treatment best suits your skin, desires, and summer plans. No standard treatment plan. No unnecessary treatments.
Do an approach that suits your face, skin and natural appearance. Because the best treatment is not the most popular treatment. It is the treatment that solves the right problem.
